Helix 6 Precision-Shooting Tips for Cold Weather

Helix 6 Precision-Shooting Tips for Cold Weather

From Helix 6 Precision

Helix 6 Precision builds the finest carbon fiber rifle barrels. Our proprietary manufacturing process creates barrels capable of outstanding accuracy in all weather conditions. We’re always pushing the limits of innovation, quality and design. When the weather gets nasty, trust Helix 6 Precision barrels to keep you on target. 

Helix 6 Precision’s carbon fiber rifle barrels have a near zero coefficient of thermal expansion. What does that mean for the shooter? It means that our barrels are not affected by cold or heat, so they’ll shoot the same regardless of the ambient temperature. A Helix 6 Precision shooter knows they can count on our barrels to keep them on target in extreme temperatures. 

Cold Weather Shooting Tips

Winter presents several challenges to the shooter. Temperature extremes negatively affect performance. Understanding and preparing for the extremes is the key to good shooting when the mercury drops. 

Cold often affects ammunition performance. Low temperatures cause lower chamber pressures, which translates into slower velocities and, ultimately a lower point of impact. Some ammunition is better in the cold than others, so it’s important to test! Ballistic data collected in the summer must be validated in cold weather shooting conditions. Handloaders have the advantage of avoiding temperature-sensitive powders during load development, but it’s still important to double-check your ballistic D.O.P.E for winter shooting.  

Valuable tools for cold weather ammo testing include a chronograph, weather meter and a ballistic calculator. Accurate data for velocity and environmental conditions are critical for computing trajectories.

Cold weather shooting also requires warmer gear-gloves and jackets. Keeping warm is not only more enjoyable; it’s also a big factor in top performance at the range. Remember to take time for dry firing before sending rounds downrange. ‘Warming up’ is essential in any competition and especially in the winter. 

Helix 6 Precision barrels are lighter and stronger than anything else in the industry and built for extreme conditions. If you’re looking for the highest quality, handcrafted, carbon fiber barrel on the market, look no farther than Helix 6 Precision. 

Our barrels are proudly 100% made in the USA.

FAB Defense RAPS Delivers a Cutting Edge Design

FAB Defense RAPS Delivers a Cutting Edge Design

From FAB Defense

The FAB Defense Rapid Adjustable Precision Stock is loaded with slick features designed for skilled tactical shooters who demand the absolute best in the field. The durable, lightweight design is unrivaled, and the patent-pending features are changing the game for advanced shooters demanding a stock capable of long and short-range situations.

The entire RAPS design hinges on the ability to make quick adjustments with a single hand. The patent-pending 1Latch™ system makes this possible while the shooter maintains a downrange field of vision. The ability to maintain focus while adjusting the length of pull offers an advantage as nothing is missed in the field. Every second counts and the RAPS prevents loss of focus in critical moments.

Additionally, the integrated cheek rest raises to 42mm for the perfect fit against any user profile. The butt-pad also has 10mm of height adjustment while utilizing a comfortable, non-slip rubber cushion. 

While the RAPS is designed for real-time adjustments, every shooter has a preferred length of pull. The LOP memory sets a default position, and the stock immediately springs to this length when engaged. This means the shooter is ready without making adjustments at a moment’s notice. 

The installation process is simple and easily completed in the home. The design also has an incorporated concealed Picatinny rail for the addition of a monopod. The RAPS is battlefield ready and will sync quickly with capable shooters.

Specs and Features:

  • Integrated Cheek Rest & adjustable Length Of Pull (LOP)
  • Patent-pending 1Latch system locks both LOP and Cheek Rest height with one lever
  • 1Latch system can be configured for right or left-hand shooters
  • New LOP memory feature, set it once and the adjustable butt-pad will spring out to the same length every time
  • LOP Adjustment Range: 32mm (1.26″)
  • Integrated Cheek Rest, adjustment range; 42mm (1.65″)
  • Adjustable LOP, on AR10 from 378mm to 410mm (14.8″-16.14″)
  • Concealed Picatinny rail at the bottom of the stock for use with a monopod
  • Heavy-duty, rubber butt-pad with height adjustment
  • The RAPS includes one pre-installed adapter for the rifle-length receiver extension tube and two additional adapters for MIL-SPEC Carbine tubes (one for M4 type receivers and one universal)

Easy installation, no gunsmith required.
